Driving The Camera and Space

It's fascinating the way that innovations for camera rigging have evolved. You can roll the camera on track of every size, shape and configuration, fly the camera around on cranes and jibs of ever imaginable design. Take the Polecat for example, an adjustable carbon fibre pipe with a remote pan/tilt. The three inch pipe can fly out 12 feet in the air and carry an 8 pound camera such as the C300 with a prime lens on it. There's always been a huge range of heavy duty cranes such as the Technocrane but the real news is in small, easy to set up, super portable light weight rigs that a student or independent filmmaker can use inexpensively.

How about a $300 remote control quadracopter with a GoPro on it, or a $20,000 quadracopter with a Red flying anywhere you want in your set or location.
